Back in June 2017 I blogged about the newest hoax by serial hoaxer Jaime Maussan -- the "discovery" of three-fingered alien mummies in Peru. Maussan of course was one of the people behind the ridiculous Roswell slides. I suggested at the time the same hoaxing...

Elongated Skull, Red-Haired Mummy Myth
Are there very old skeletons that have red hair? Sure. That isn't the myth. The myth is that a skeleton or mummy with red hair means that said specimen is evidence of nephilim or visitation of Old World giants in the New World. (I've asked before for the verse that...
Update on Jaime Maussan’s Phony Peruvian Alien Mummy
If you're following this story, this post from Archaeology Review is quite worthwhile: A Review of Jaime Maussan’s Alien Mummy from Peru. The highlight is an X-Ray of the three-fingered alien hand hoax perpetrated by Maussan. Here's a portion of the essay on that...
The Racism Behind Ancient Alien Mummy Hoaxes
Yep. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When ancient alien theorists (or Christian North American nephilim "race" theorists) insist those are the explanations for impressive engineering and architectural work (think Nazca lines, mounds), what they're saying is...
Update on Jaime Maussan’s Fake Alien Mummy Circus
The UFO Watchdog blog recently posted an update on the alleged alien mummy brought to Gaia TV by Jaime Maussan. Jaime of course has a long, glorious history of hoaxing. You can read the update here in full, but it's basically about how the World Congress on Mummy...
Jaime Maussan Is At It Again: Three-Fingered “Alien Mummy” Claim
Many readers will have seen the slick video report about an alleged "new species" mummy found in Peru. This is a well-done video by Gaia TV, sure to appeal to the gullible. Lots of folks with white masks saying sciencey things (i.e., speculating with big words). Some...
Cemetery in Egypt Yields 7-Foot Man
Some of you may have heard about the new BYU excavations at the Fag el-Gamous necropolis in Egypt. Because the area is so large (300 acres) and the mummies recovered at buried in mass graves (these are commoners of the Roman era through Late Antiquity), some...
Robert Ripley: A More Honest Showman Than Steven Greer
I just blogged this over at UFO Religions so I thought I'd reproduce this here. >> In the latest twist to the Steven Greer ET disclosure shell game (hat tip to BK), Greg Newkirk of the Who Forted? blog and Lee Spiegel of the Huffington Post (photo credit for the...
Mummies and Other Dead Ancient Egyptians
As is my practice, I try to post things periodically that aren't paleobabble. Sure, the archeo-bunk is fun and entertaining, but I need to do something useful now and again. I recently came across two online resources for research on Egyptian mummies, courtesy of the...
Akhenaten’s Mummy Identified via DNA Testing?
I just wanted to post an update on what has emerged as a controversy regarding the identification of Akhenaten's mummy (or not). The Egyptology News blog has been keeping up with the discussion pretty closely. Yesterday a post appeared in favor of confirmation that...
Alien Fetus in King Tut’s Tomb?
Well . . . half of that is right . . . the fetus part, anyway. The picture below is often offered as part of the "aliens visited ancient Egypt" paleobabblefest on the internet. The mummified corpse on the right is said to be alien ("just look at the head and eyes . ....
